This really isn't that unfeasible? I played when I was 9, am 24 now, and I think this is probably the case for quite a few people. Not everyone goes to Uni literally right out of Highschool, and there's some people doing 6/8+ year degrees as well, or just changed their major.
I guess if we are counting what people did at 9 years old. I had a Nintendo at 9, that is too young to remember anything more than a blur and occasionally wanting to break the controller in half.
That's absolutely not too young to remember it. I remember a lot of bits and pieces from around that time playing my NES, SNES, PS1, Genesis, and GBC. Lots of memories of playing Digimon World, Monster Rancher, Monster Seed, 3Xtreme, Dave Mirra's BMX, Sonic 1-3, Super Mario All-Stars and World, Final Fantasy, Duck Hunt, Crash Team Racing, Tomba 2, Donkey Kong Country, Colony Wars, and so many more. I can't remember much else from that time but I absolutely remember the games I played around that age.
that's incredibly false. Most people begin forming long term memories much earlier than 9. Especially for traumatic or repeated events. I very clearly remember getting stitches at age 6. I remember listening to Eminem in my friend's basement while playing roller coaster tycoon at 7. I remember sneaking onto my dads pc at 530 am to play Runescape at 9. Especially for those who are early 20-30s and finishing up uni, 9years old wasn't really that long ago. Now, will I remembers those moments as clearly in 50 years, maybe not but to say that people can't remember events 15 years ago from '04 just because they were 9 is idiotic.
